My BIG Day is tomorrow!!!

By daisy0923

My life will change tomorrow morning at 7:15am when I am scheduled for my LapBand surgery. It has been rough the last couple of nights.....I feel like I haven't slept because I lay awake and all these thoughts run through my mind. I am scared out of my mind about surgery but more so of the "unknown." Reading stories and posts on here has helped me a lot and all I can do now is leave things in Gods hands for he knows all.

When you have a free moment please say a prayer for me that everything turns out well and I have just as much success as all of you! God Bless.

    You are in my prayers. Update us when you can. I understand the nerves ( I was just banded 7/15/10). Reading the posts on this site helped me feel prepared, so when I felt the gas pain, or when doctors or nurses said something, I at least had an idea of what was going on. And yes, God IS in control. My surgeon was a Christian, and I had so many people praying during surgery, I know that had an impact! Blessings to you.

    good luck! I was a nervous wreck too..it really is not bad! I have had 2 kids and 2 knee surgeries this was by far the easiest and less painful procedure!! Remember WALK WALK WALK even day 1! I slept on the couch for 3 nights so I could walk during the night without bothering anyone!
